I dont think you need to do the ring during your proposal either.
I agree with leaving your friend at home.
I think the fact that you have obviously thought about where and when to propose to your gf will speak volumes and she will enjoy picking out a *special* something with you.
As for alternate gems, there's a mob called trigem designs thats got a good reputation for Fair Trade.
As Limey mentioned, I wouldnt have a problem with discussing a price range.
YAY - sounds like a great plan...good luck
